Owner’s Manual” is shown
Indicates that the 12-volt battery charge is insufficient. Char ge or replace the
12-volt battery.
● When the message is shown, the hybrid system may not start or t he shift
position may not be changed normally. (Coping method: P. 678)
● After charging the 12-volt battery, the message may not go off until the shift
position is changed from P.
■ If “Shifting Unavailable Low 12-Volt Battery See Owner’s Manual ” is
shown
Indicates that the shift position cannot be changed because the voltage of the
12-volt battery drops. Charge or replace the 12-volt battery.
(Coping method in the case the 12-volt battery is discharged: P. 703)
■ If “Hybrid System Overheated. Reduced Output Power.” is shown
The message may be shown when driving under severe operating co nditions.

on P. 570.
● When the air intake vents or filters are not dirty and the warn ing message is
shown, have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer.
■ If “Traction Battery Needs to be Protected Refrain From the Use of
Position” is shown
This message may be displayed when the shift position is in N.
As the hybrid battery (traction battery) can not be charged when the shift
position is in N, shift the shift position to P when the vehicle is stopped.
■ If “Traction Battery Needs to be Protected Shift into to Resta rt” is
shown
This message is displayed when the hybrid battery (traction battery) charge
has become extremely low because the vehicle has been left with the N shift
position selected for a certain amount of time.
When operating the vehicle, shift to P and restart the hybrid s ystem.

To inject the sealant and inflate
the tire, turn the compressor
switch on.
Inflate the tire until the specified air pressure is reached.The sealant will be injected
and the pressure will spike to
between 44 psi (300 kPa,
3.0 kgf/cm
2 or bar) and
58 psi (400 kPa, 4.0 kgf/cm2
or bar), then gradually
decrease.
The air pressure gauge will
display the actual tire infla-
tion pressure about 1 to 5
minutes after the switch is
turned on.
• Turn the compressor switch off and then check the tire
inflation pressure. Being
careful not to over inflate,
check and repeat the inflation
procedure until the specified
tire inflation pressure is
reached.
• The tire can be inflated for about 5 to 20 minutes (depending on
the outside temperature). If the t ire inflation pressure is still lower
than the specified point after inflation for 25 minutes, the tire is
too damaged to be repaired. Turn the compressor switch off and
contact your Toyota dealer.
• If the tire inflation pressure exceeds the specified air press ure, let
out some air to adjust the tire inflation pressure. ( P. 691, 725)

Cooling fans
If a large amount of coolant
leaks, immediately contact
your Toyota dealer.
The following may indicate that your vehicle is overheating.
● The high coolant temperature warning light ( P. 664) comes on
or flashes, or a loss of hybrid system power is experienced. (F or

Add coolant if necessary.
Water can be used in an emer-
gency if coolant is unavailable.
Start the hybrid system and turn the air conditioning system on to
check that the radiator cooling fans operate and to check for
coolant leaks from t he radiator or hoses.
The fans operate when the temperature setting is adjusted to “LO” and
“A/C” switch (
*1 • *2) is turned on immediately after a
cold start. Confirm that the fans are operating by checking the fan sound
and air flow. If it is difficult to check these, turn the “A/C” switch
(
*1 • *2) on and off repeatedly. (The fans may not
operate in freezing temperatures.)
